Hey, at least it told you. When i was fiddling to get disney plus working on my own setup it just refused to play until i changed the reported OS to windows. Nothing else was changed. I really have no idea why they would go out of their way to block specific operating systems.

Same with Amazon Videos.

AFTER I PAID it told me my os does not support hd quality Playback.

With kodi and a plugin I got it working to run at 1080p

Saved it with OBS out of spite.

Changing the user agent unfortunately didn't work.

You did? I also tried that, but the best resolution I got was 540p... As far as my research went that was because they require a higher widevine level not available on linux for HD

Install kodi and then the vod-Amazon plugin.

Then you have at least 1080 if higher res is possible idk.
